Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
2. MAHASTHANGARH
Mahasthangarh is one of the most earliest urban
archaeological sites so far discovered in Bangladesh.
The village Mahasthan in Shibganj upazila of Bogra
District contains the remains of an ancient city which
was called Pundranagara or Paundravardhanapura in the
territory of Pundravardhana.
Location:
Mahasthan, Bogra District, Rajshahi Division,
Bangladesh.
Founded: Not later than 3rd century BC
Abandoned: 8th century AD
4. GOVINDA BHITA
Citadel of Mahasthangarh
The nearest point outside the citadel is called Govinda Bhita mound of the
Hindu god Govinda' where excavation was first conducted in 1928-29, 1934-
35 and 1960. It is situated only 185m northeast of Jahajghata and close to the
bight of the moribund Karatoya.Outside the Citadel.
Higher up the Korotoya and separated from the north-eastern corner of the
garh by the road stands this mound, which according to the Karatiya-
mahatmyam marks a limit of the sacred ground of Mahasthan. , according to
the Gazetteer, pp. 158-59, at the foot of the mound on its northern side and
facing ; the river, there was a long stone wall submerged under water, which
was examined in 1907 by making excavations all round it. It was then found
that the wall was semicircular in shape, evidently built to protect the buildings
on the mound from erosion by the Korotoya, and that there was a Ghat quite
separate from it on the east side. The wall was some 150 feet long and 4 feet
high. The. Wall and the Ghat were washed away by the North Bengal flood of
1922. The river side below the mound was strewn over, before the flood, with
blocks of stone. some of them beautifully carved, and it is still called
Patharghata.
6. PARASURAMER BASGRIHA
Citadel of Mahasthangarh
The mound of Parasuramer Prasad about 274m to the south of Bairagir Bhita
was excavated. It contains the remains of three occupation periods. The earliest
period has been assigned to the 8th century AD as it contains some pieces of
terracotta plaques along with a stone visnupatta of typical Pala origin. Period-
II has been assigned to 15th-16th century AD, as it is associated with some
glazed shards of Indo-Muslim origin. Period- III is related with secular
building plan and two coins. The coins were issued by the British East India
Company in 1835AD and 1853AD In the recent years of 1995-98, an
interesting studywas made by Laurent Volay and Severine Sanz on the
architectural plan exposed in the mound According to this study, the lost
building was situated within a walled compound measuring 55m from east to
west and 40m from north to south. Facing east, through an in-center ballroom,
the compound is halved into two sectors, i.e. the outer-yard and the inner-yard.
The former is barring of any structure whereas the latter accommodates a
group of four units of building centering round a third.
8. JIYAT KUNDA
Citadel of Mahasthangarh
This mould is situated some 600 ft. north of Mankhali dhap Inside the citadel.
This mould is situated with the `Jihad kind' or `Well of Life' hears it:
According to the Gazetteer, p. 157, two rooms of modern date were found
inside the mound in the excavations of 1907. The `Jiyat-kund' `well has a
diameter of 14 ft.at the top, diminishing on account of offsets as it goes deeper.
'The descent to the water was made by isolated stones projecting from the wall.
Near it lies a huge granite stone carved with the elephant trunk' design
probably of the Gupta age.
10. MANKHALIR DHAP
Citadel of Mahasthangarh
About 400 ft. further north with a kind or deep pit lying at its foot. From this
mound Cunningham obtained `a considerable number of. carved bricks, such
as are always found in the ruins of temples, and which still exist in situ in the
fine brick temple of Bhitargaolt. There were moldings of cornices of many
varieties, portions of undulated eaves, and of antalaka fruits of pinnacles of a
temple.' He got also 'twelve square terra-cotta alto-relieves, and one small
pilaster or baluster, which formed the upright of two of those panels of a long
frieze.' They were all of coarse workmanship and of soft red brick, but of much
variety in the designs-including men in various positions, a wheel, a ram, a
bull, a tiger, a caparisoned horse. a parrot, unknown bird, a lion sitting to front,
a circular lotus flower. Along with these he obtained `two old bronze figures of
Ganesa and Garuda. and a fragment of blue stone pedestal with the end of an
inscription in medieval Nigarl characters reading nagrabhara. Cunningham
derived the name of the mound from a `Raja Man Singh' who Said to have
preceded ‘raja Parasurama’ Some persons suggest that the Mould is named
after the Muslim Mankalis of Ghoraghat who were such a power in north
Bengal at the close of the Pathan rule.
12. KHUDAR PATHAR BHITA
Citadel of Mahasthangarh
About 200 yards to the north-west of the dargah is a mound which is named
after an enormous door-sill of granite stone which lies on it. The stone
measures about 10' x 2½’ x 2½’ and has a floral design on its face, while the
top is recessed and provided with two socket holes for the door shutters, 6 ft.
apart. According to the Gazetteer, all round these stone excavations were made
in 1907 to a depth of 5 ft. when a stone pavement was reached. During this
excavation several carved stones were obtained, one of which measuring 2' 3"
.by 8" by 7" is now in the Museum at Rajshahi. It contains `three seated
Buddha figures in a line, of which the middle one is in the meditative pose. and
those on the two sides in the earth-touching pose. Each figure is placed within
an arched niche. At the left end is a devotee seated with folded hands.' This
points to the temple being Buddhist, though Cunningham classed the `massive
door sill' as that of a Hindu temple.'
